I went through Strano parts and got the Bilstein revalves. Should be here in the next 2-2.5 weeks. Anybody have any experience with these shocks? How do they handle compared to the stock DeCarbons, reduce body roll, brake dive etc...? Thanks guys. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

with the ground control setup how are you having yours revalved, is it done specific with a spring /height combo, or is the revalving a generic softer setting than the stock Bilstein HD's.

I left the details to Sam. I explained to him that I wanted high speed stability and excellent cornering, reduced body roll, reduced brake dive (if possible), the ride doesn't really matter too much. He basically took that info, along with my spring rates (450/175) and told me he'd have it revalved and I was going to be amazed. I also mentioned to him the front was dropped about 1.75" and the rear 1.20".

Sam seems to know alot more about suspension than I do, so I will put my trust in him to come up with the right package. <img border="0" alt="[Chevrolet]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />
